Nothing's ok.

I did it and sometimes it was ok, sometimes not.

Then I was trying to cat file >/dev/fd0 and until ALL the md5sums were ok.

After reboot every single disc was broken.

I'm trying out another version, I suppose...
IS there any other way to accomplish a boot? Since with the old 13-6 discs
it just booted (I got the news ones then, because they are not really
working, you know it)...

Is there a way to boot via lilo on hd?

I know the German SuSE distribution that only needs a CD and a small
programm with DOS. There's no need for ANY discs, the kernels are loaded
from the CD. Well...
